To the point: Dems won't submit budget

Your recent opinion on "it's just common sense" about Republicans not working with Democrats was wrong ("After zoning fight, move on," March 1). The majority of people who voted in Missouri are not stupid because they voted for a Republican president, not a progressive liberal. Most Republicans are willing to work with progressive liberals and do, but progressive liberal Democrats will not even submit a budget, so how can a Republican work with that to try and reduce the $16.7 trillion deficit? It just makes common sense to omit we have a spending problem. However, progressive liberal Democrats won't do that.
